Summary
Third-quarter contact between Alyssa Thomas and Lexie Hull became the flashpoint in Phoenix, where officials reviewed the play and ruled a shooting foul on Hull rather than penalizing Thomas.
Thomas still led the Mercury with 22 points on 10-of-18 shooting, but Indiana erased two 10-point deficits and closed out a 92-89 win on Sophie Cunningham's late free throws.
Caitlin Clark did not play in the rematch after coach Stephanie White planned a rest day, two weeks after Thomas had knocked Clark to the floor in an earlier meeting.
The latest physical sequence adds to a growing edge in Fever-Mercury games, turning the matchup into one of the WNBA's more closely watched regular-season rivalries.
